What were you trying to do?
limit coredumpsize 0
What's wrong:
'limit coredumpsize 0' doesn't fully work in tcsh 6.0.4 and
older (i.e, the Sun/SGI versions that are installed in
/bin/athena/tcsh.) Instead of preventing core files from
being created at all, as it should, it creates core files with
a max size of 512 bytes.
What should have happened:
The file 'core' should not even be created at all.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
man setrlimit
The file 'Fixes' in the tcsh-6.05 source release
Since this behavior is fixed in tcsh 6.0.5 and newer, this is merely a
request for an update of /bin/athena/tcsh the next time it is possible
to do so. (Current official release is 6.0.6.)
Thanks.
